The siege of Prairie du Chien was a British victory in the far western theater of the War of 1812. During the war, Prairie du Chien was a small frontier settlement with residents loyal to both American and British causes. By 1814, both nations were anxious to control the site because of its importance to the fur trade and its strategic location at the intersection of the Mississippi River and the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway, a transportation route linking the Mississippi with the Great Lakes.

  • La bataille de Prairie du Chien est une bataille de la guerre anglo-américaine de 1812 qui se déroule à Prairie du Chien dans le Wisconsin du 17 au 20 juillet 1814. Elle se solde par une victoire britannique sur les troupes des États-Unis. Pendant cette guerre, Prairie du Chien était une localité de la frontier dont les résidents étaient divisés, entre ceux loyaux à la cause des États-Unis ou à celle des Britanniques. Vers 1814, les deux nations souhaitent contrôler ce site, à cause de son importance pour le commerce des fourrures et sa position stratégique au confluent du Mississippi et de la voie navigable Fox-Wisconsin, qui relie le Mississippi aux Grands Lacs.
